My son detailed the owner of March Performance, 2003 Jaguar XJ R over the weekend. I really don't care for Jags but this one is pretty fast with the 390 hp supercharged V8. This is a $75,000 car.It has some cool options especially like the cruise control feature where it has a front distance sensing device. We were going about 50 mph and came upon a motorcycle when the car's dash displayed a "GAP" message and as you got closer the message flashed indiacating the distance was decreasing. The car actually applied the brakes comming to a full stop behind that stopped motorcycle without any brake pedal application. The body is all aluminum. Has a in dash navigation system. Tons of bells and whistles. Here are some pictures after it was washed and before it was detailed.

You should have seen the dirty 1999 30th Anniversary Trans AM that Ryan detailer before bringing the Jag over. It is said to be one of 3 of the 6 speed 30th convertibles...I don't know for sure how many were made.I wished I took pictures of it. [Smile]

One of my co workers said this Jag has the same 4.6L 4 valve engine the new Cobra has with a liquid to air intercooler. [Smile]

No thanks!! I prefer to drive my car not have some computer do it. I'm not convinced that I even like ABS.
